It's okay. I screwed up my back months ago and every now and then it gets a little stiff and hard to work around. [ but they look at her hair for a moment. ] That looks much better than the wig.
[ back from accidental balding... it's a good color. ]
It feels a little weird making you pour your own "congratulations" drink, Shadowheart. Healer or no. [ but it's very kind of her and they should maybe let people do things, so they hand her the glass. ] There's a bottle on the third shelf from the left, green with a foil topper.
The magic is a pretty big thing, I think. [ but one of them, too. ] ... thanks. I usually want to do it myself but it's not like you aren't here often enough anyway.
I should be encouraging you to have a little faith, but it's not like I'm a good optimist either. Isn't that the saying? Hope for the best, expect the worst? I'm going to keep hoping for the best for all of you.

Are you alright? Are you hurt?

[smiling a little.]
How'd you screw up your back?
no subject
[ but they are more interested in this glow-up. ]
Can I be honest and say this suits you better?
no subject
[well, she's pleased by the comment.]
Sweet of you to say. I'm still getting adjusted to how this suits me, but...
no subject
[ still rolling their shoulders back and trying to stretch their spine, they do turn around to grab a champagne flute. ]
Adjusted like you're still not sure? Or adjusted because it's a big difference?
no subject
[ah, lightly trying to touch them to stop?]
No, no, no. I'm meant to be a healer, you know. If you're injured, the least I can do is pour the drinks.

[she will pour! and one for them, too?]

[ i.e. they trust her. ]

[handing them a flute.]
There you are.

To new beginnings?
no subject
[toasting back and drinking it! imagine if she grabbed the wrong bottle and this was cursed.]
no subject
I'd like if this was just the first of new beginnings for you guys, but I'll take what I can get.
no subject
I'll take what I can get, too. One is enough for me right now.
no subject
Does it ever feel like it's too good to be true? The victories as they come. [ "do you worry about losing those, too?" ]
